It doesn’t sound like Lakers guard Lonzo Ball won’t be making his return back to the court any time soon. According to Tania Ganguli of the Los Angeles Times, Ball is expected to be out well past his original six-week timetable.
Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball has been dealing with a bone bruise in his sprained left ankle that the team believes could extend his recovery past six weeks, according to two people familiar with Ball’s condition.
Ball has made progress toward his return, but he’s still a little ways away from returning to practice:
Ball began running on an underwater treadmill two weeks ago and last week he began work on an antigravity treadmill but was limited because of the bone bruise.
